-On the Real-

On the real babe, this flesh is fading fast
But on the real babe
Make a memory, gonna make it last forever now, ever now
On the real babe

You're gonna run that man the iron side
Twenty days taking the night
In heaven, I'm afraid of darkness

On the real babe, these lights are fading fast
On the real babe
I shut you out, you shun me in 
forever now, every gal
On the real babe

You're gonna run that girl out of life
Fifty times you've ever tried were nothing
I'm afraid of nothing

And we stay home
Never talk on the phone
And we stay home 
Never talk on the phone

It's time to walk that path, the better ways
Time to take day to day
It's something 
You can always take something

Prawn - "Rooftops"

Written by Terry Reeves, 1981
Recorded in a dusty attic, Wallington, Surrey, 1983
Terry Reeves: Vocals/ Guitar 
Brian Reeves: Guitar
John Palmer: Bass
Gary Reeves: Drums

Back in 1981, there was a major news item on the front of the tabloids involving two young teenagers who had committed suicide in a car. They left a note saying that there was no point in carrying on living as they had no job and no money. Unemployment was the highest it had ever been at that time, so it made the headlines. This song was my comment. There was nothing great about the Thatcher government and yes, I was there. (Terry Reeves)

LYRICS

Work hard at school and you will succeed
Get the pieces of paper that you need
You will get there if you are the best
But what happens to us, all the rest

CHORUS
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

Discipline will curb your greed
Much more training's what you need
It's better now than it's ever been
Hard times like these we have never seen

CHORUS X 2

Lets tell the truth and not live a lie
No piece for us of that money pie
The youth are the future that's what we're told
But what will they tell us when we're too old

CHORUS X 2

So what's the point in carrying on
Growing up is just one big con
Haven't listened to a word that's said
Perhaps you'll listen when I'm dead

NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

From the album Exit Index out October 20th on Western Vinyl

Grooms' Exit Index combines the abandon of pop with the unease of American life in 2017, cloaking its hooks in a clamor of samples and distortion, its agitation expressed in its dream-poetry lyrics. The album as a whole is a study in contrasts—light meeting dark, amplifier fuzz surrounding big melodies, sampled friction squaring off with fluidly played basslines. 

Grooms laid down the skeleton tracks for Exit Index, the Brooklyn band's first album since 2015's Comb the Feelings Through Your Hair, at the storied New York recording studio The Magic Shop. 

The heavy processing on the group's guitars helps add to the gloom as well; Johnson, who has co-owned the Brooklyn pedal company Death By Audio Effects since 2008, made a limited-edition distortion pedal to celebrate the album's release. "There's a lot of tremolo on Exit Index," he says, "so I made a fucked-up-sounding trem. I designed it to be dense and possibly confusing at first, where all the controls affect what the other controls do, like a synth. It can tremolo, or it can degrade things like they're on worn-out cassette tapes." Collin Dupuis (Angel Olsen, Lana Del Rey) mixed the album, adding a few finishing touches to intros and song structures while also making the structures Grooms constructs sound even more massive and imposing.

Grooms - "Magistrate Seeks Romance"

The second offering from Emma Lohan's album Black Atlantic (due to release May 2018), Wander Free takes you on a reminiscent dream, a laidback soundscape across the Irish Sea. Nostalgic lyrics, rich harmonies and lush instrumental swirls that invite your thoughts to let go and wander free.

The Soft Moon - Choke

prod. @richqns

u like it when my voice low
and my nails yea they draggin on ur polo
and my trails yea they leading to a remote place-
a headspace only i know 

cos deep down oh no no deep down oh no no deep down
ur real nice
i kno the persona entice 
i know the persona excite 
but deep down oh no no deep down oh no no deep down
ur real composed 
n u come undone when u leave the fun
for a diff kind back at home

he look at me like im a trophy 
wana get me, show me off like damn
i got a small scope for this love hope shit 
but i think i wna expand 
got him up tense on the off chance that i'll call back
(i dont wanna call back)
little fun fact, when i fall back then it attracts (here we go again)

these games yeah they exhaust 
it's a coin toss
heads up- ima front, like it's ur loss
like it's ur problem 


~
i love it when he get mad 
i love it when he step back then he relapse 
cos im too good and we too good 
i love it when he make time 
i love it when it decline but he rewind
'cos im too good and we too good 
on a tightline but we still stood yea we still stood

Screaming Females - "Take It Back" (New Noise Magazine Flexi 019)

Produced by Adam Pardey
Mixed by Hugo Meredith-Hardy

Lick your lips, you can taste
All the wasted embraces coming back but wait
There's a flavour I'd forgotten

There's a twist
All the sycophantic little shits
Getting dizzy dancing round a pit in a misty cemetery

Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day

Have a seat
Kettle's on
Put your feet up
Take a gun
And I'll be back to clean you up with a sunny disposition

Take offense at the notion of a truth that you can't spin into something that can prove all your predetermined fictions

Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say

Keep your stories short and your silence loud
So they don't find out
That you don't have a clue

Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
